On March 1, it was reported that Alana “Honey Boo Boo” Thompson’s boyfriend, Dralin Carswell, was arrested for a DUI after being chased by a police car for three miles down a highway in Monroe County, GA. It was also reported that officers found marijuana in Carswell’s car, which led to the charges against the 21-year-old.
Thompson was also in the car at the time. It was reported by the Monroe County Reporter that the reality TV star was not charged and would only serve as a witness. According to her story, Carswell was instructed to make a traffic stop by a Monroe County corporal but decided to speed down the highway instead, resulting in the three-mile chase.

This isn’t the first time Carswell has been arrested. In 2019, he was charged with statutory rape of an unnamed alleged victim; this incident happened before Carswell was linked to Thompson. After he completed a pretrial diversion program, the claims were dismissed. It was also said that there wasn’t enough evidence to show that statutory rape happened.
